Amazing Acting, November 26, 2004
This review is from: Who Am I This Time? (DVD)
I have acted and directed for many years and just saw this film. It is an extraordinary piece that provides a demonstration of how acting works -- and it does so in a very short amount of time and in an engaging way. Walken is pure genius in his body language, facial expressions, use of his voice, everything an actor needs to perform well. I don't think I have ever seen (or ever will see again) such amazing acting. The story is cute and touching, but it is merely a vehicle for the stars to shine, which they do - brilliantly. See this movie and -- please, someone, put it on DVD.

One of my all-time favourites, November 24, 2002
Fine, sweet, understated, modest. A small story, and a small movie. If you require large explosions, or edge-of-your-seat car chases, this movie is to be avoided; on the other hand, if character vignettes please you, you'll be well satisfied. O. Henry-ish, and intentionally stageplay-like. Approaches my all-time top ten. (Thanks, JAG, for introducing me to it.)

When Will It Be on DVD?, March 12, 2003
This review is from: Who Am I This Time? (DVD)
Someone once said that a good poem would "take off the top of your head." This little flick did that to me, when I was a young and impressionable student who stumbled across a PBS film festival, and I'd love to have the same experience again -- preferably with a DVD version of "Who Am I This Time?" Twenty years ago, I had no idea who Christopher Walken or Susan Sarandon were, but their understated yet passionate -- pulsating! -- acting left a big impression. Sit back, take a sip of a warm, fruity wine, and enjoy this little gem.
